- #6 Prima Bella
- #8 Stardom
- #2 Apocalyptic
Prima Bella ($5.50) stretched her trademark short‑course speed to 1100m and proved too tough in the 2026 Toy Show Quality results at Randwick, the 6YO Per Incanto mare lifting late to edge out Stardom with favourite Apocalyptic third. Stopping the clock at 1:02.94 and home in 33.77, the Matthew Smith‑trained sprinter made it three straight wins after dominant 1000m victories at Randwick and Flemington, showing she could absorb pressure and still find a kick. Kerrin McEvoy rated her perfectly, keeping her in a smooth rhythm before asking for a final effort that saw her respond exactly when needed. With 8 wins from 15 starts and a profile built on consistency, toughness and short‑course brilliance, Prima Bella’s Group 3 breakthrough confirms her as one of Sydney’s most reliable mares heading deeper into the spring.
